Arlaud: an estate for Burgundy wine enthusiasts!

If you are curious and looking to venture off the beaten path, Domaine Arlaud should interest you… Indeed, any discerning Burgundy wine enthusiast should taste the great wines of this discreet estate whose reputation is well established among the most knowledgeable…

Since 1982, Hervé Arlaud and his children have been running a family estate founded in 1949 in Morey Saint Denis, located on the finest terroirs of the Côte de Nuits: several Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru, Charmes Chambertin, Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint Denis, Bonnes Mares… the estate is certainly not lacking in grands crus! In addition to the quality of these soils, considerable effort is devoted to the vineyard: certified biodynamic (since 2009), the estate applies meticulous work in pursuit of naturalness, with – among other things – plowing by horse and highly selective harvesting… No oenological products are added in order to preserve the authenticity of the vine: here it is the quality of the grapes that takes center stage. This rigor is also found in the cellar where the wines are aged with finesse for up to 18 months, before bottling without fining or filtration. The result of so much work: great Burgundy wines! A remarkable purity combining charm and elegance, from the "Bourgogne Roncevie" cuvée to the sublime Clos Saint Denis vinified with partially destemmed grapes. The Domaine Arlaud produces the following cuvées:

• Bourgogne Aligoté, Bourgogne Passetoutgrain, Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits (Chardonnay) and Bourgogne Roncevie.
• Gevrey Chambertin and Gevrey 1^er Cru "Aux Combottes".
• Morey Saint Denis and several Morey Saint Denis 1^er Cru: Les Milandes, Aux Cheseaux, Les Blanchards, Les Ruchots.
• Chambolle Musigny and several Chambolle Musigny 1^er Cru: Les Sentiers, Les Noirots, Les Chatelots.
• And finally several grands crus: Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru, Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru and Bonnes Mares Grand Cru.
